Think seedy little dive bars only exist in the city? Take another look, there's probably a great little dive right around the corner from where you live. This is the Best of the MD Burbs - Dive Bars
Naptown 💪 Larry: The dirtiest, nastiest, little dive bar in all of Annapolis. But that's its Charm, and for the regulars, it's the place where everybody knows your name.
Naptown 💪 Larry: It almost has a Bethesda zip code, but it looks like something right out of deliverance plopped down in the middle of high priced condos and expensive restaurants. A definite Do Not Miss Dive Bar!
Naptown 💪 Larry: With carpet on the floor to soak up beer, an industrial microwave that heats all the food, and a huge 1990's era projection T.V., could it be called anything but a dive?
Naptown 💪 Larry: Bud, Miller, and Coors mirrors n signs on all the walls, and Nascar race replays constantly running on the T.V. Throw in a Pool table, Shuffle board table, a Juke box, and you've got yourself a dive!
5888 Robert Oliver Pl (in Oakland Mills Village Center), Columbia, MD
Karaoke Bar · Oakland Mills · 40 tips and reviews
Naptown 💪 Larry: Almost too upscale to be a dive with a vast beer selection and great wings. But for Columbia, it's dimly lit and it's mostly locals, so this is as dive'y as it gets for the area.
Naptown 💪 Larry: Dimly lit with karaoke, pool tables, a juke box, keno, a take out store attached, and fully of friendly locals. What more could you ask for in a neighborhood dive?
Naptown 💪 Larry: One small room, tiny restrooms and cash only drinks. The barstools are falling apart and the décor hasn't been changed in decades. But the locals are friendly and the drinks are cheap !
Naptown 💪 Larry: The Horsey crowd's version of a dive bar and the only watering hole between Baltimore, Towson and the PA line. But it's got pool tables and colorful red nosed locals and it's a great roadhouse dive.
Naptown 💪 Larry: Dark, dingy, and excessively loud. In the winter the bar is cold, and in the summer it is usually sweltering, but the pool tables are in okay shape, and the beer is cold!

Dive Bar · 9 tips and reviews
Naptown 💪 Larry: If you want a frosty glass of Blue Moon with an Orange slice floating on top, keep driving... But if Bud, Miller, and Coors Lite in a plastic cup is your more your style, grab a spot at the bar
Naptown 💪 Larry: It's dark, it smells like stale beer, they do karaoke, they've got a bunch of pool tables n warped sticks, and they're in the middle of a Korean strip mall. Welcome to Dive City.
Naptown 💪 Larry: The best dive bar in Anne Arundel County! If you're looking for a whole in the wall with great atmosphere, this is it. Definitely get the cheeseballs with ranch!
11074 Frederick Rd (Folly Quarter Rd), Ellicott City, MD
Music Venue · 7 tips and reviews
Naptown 💪 Larry: A barnyard mural painted on the roof makes it hard to miss, but the cozy interior and ever present blue grass music inside just might make it your favorite dive.
Naptown 💪 Larry: Hot wings, Pitchers of cold Yuengling, Rude bar tenders, and colorful locals. (Think of Moe's Tavern from the Simpsons and you'll get the idea).
Naptown 💪 Larry: Ok... It's a Thai... Biker... All you can eat crabs... Pizza... Cheap Beer... Dive... If you can look past all the cultural confusion, it's a great little dive that all the locals know.
Naptown 💪 Larry: Monkey La La is a tiny little townie dive bar underneath a seafood restaurant (Jug Bridge), which makes it easy to miss. Dimly lit with plenty of neon beer signs with a giant lizard at the door.
9920 Washington Blvd N (at N Laurel Rd), Laurel, MD
Bar · 7 tips and reviews
Naptown 💪 Larry: This is Laurel's version of CHEERS where everybody knows everybody. It's got that dirty little neighborhood dive feel, 2 pool tables, karaoke EVERY night, and it's stumbling distances from the motel 6
Naptown 💪 Larry: The bar mirror in this Polish establishment is colorfully hand-painted with the slogan "There are no strangers here, only friends you haven't met". Welcome to Balmore Hon...
Naptown 💪 Larry: A plethora of meats-and-sweets snack foods, buck a beer prices, surveillance camera, glass door to the men's room, and ATM in the corner give you everything you need at this Curtis Bay dive bar.
